With Joeffry dead, I wonder who will become the most powerful person in Westeros?

I also want to know what happened to the hooker that Tywin sent packing and how Cersi will react in the long run.

Same person as before - Tywin Lannister is the most powerful person in Westeros. Cersei continues as queen regent, like she was until Joffrey came of age/got married, now that Tommen is king. Cersei still, though, answers to her dad.

Even before Joffrey died, Tywin Lannister was the most powerful person

You will find out soon I expect where he sent her packing off to....I will just tell you, it wasn't very far.

and how Cersi will react in the long run.

She will want to rule if not reign. That has always been her goal.

Maybe we'll get to find out one day?

[The Cysko Kid]

Damn. The viper vs the mountain was brutal. Even if you knew what was coming.

thought i knew (didn't read the books) but never saw the end coming of this amazing episode.

the way people produce these books into movies now befuddles me sometimes. one week it will be only about one character and their setting, much like in the walking dead. they do the same thing. the next week you'll get a smidgen of this and a smidgen of that. we all knew that this was a momentous episode to decide the fate of the midget son, yet they spent 5 minutes on it (what a great 5 mins it was). typical tv tactic to get everyone excited and then guess what? there's only 2 episodes left.

go fuck yourself HBO.

To be fair, there was a momentous moment in episode 2 of this season when Joffrey died, setting up the whole Tyrion trial thing.

Last nights episode was pretty slow.

It will be interesting to find out who's plotting against The Mother of Dragons.

Cersei looks tired and powerless.

The imp is a full time alcoholic.

It's going to be fun watching the war between Roose Bolton and Stannis Baratheon.

You stole my gif, homo.

Have you read the books?

SPOILER ALERT:

I do note that in season 4 of the tv series, which is based mostly on the latter half of the third book, they however include some scenes in it that come from the fifth book. In fact from the book the storyline of some of the characters has been concluded in the tv series....at least from what is written so far. The finding of the "three eyed raven" and the children of the forest was from that 5th book. Bran, Hodor etc. should now disappear from the tv show altogether at this point.

The books follow huge story lines that occur in Dorne, and on the Iron Islands which have not yet been treated by the show.

And the tv show has not yet shown the death of Balon Greyjoy....who in the books died before Joffrey/Tywin and even Robb Stark.

And, in the books, Gwen of Tarth, who is looking for Sansa does find a Stark family member...but not the one she was looking for....in fact, it is one thought deceased. (remember what happened to Beric Dondarrion?)

I don't believe lady stone heart will appear in the show at all.

Well, the question is what role will she play in the upcoming books. Certain things that are changed in the tv shows from the books are OK. e.g. it was not Gwen of Tarth that killed the Hound....just some random road thugs.....but that duel worked for the show.

Eliminating entire important story lines however.....just isn't right.

Also, the end of season 4 seem to imply that Varys went on the boat to Essos with Tyrion. That can't happen as he has important plot lines that are to be played out in Westeros.

He's in essos at illyrios as of yesterday's show

[DieHardBrownsFan]

I'm going to watch it later on Demand.

They're deviating from the books which is good

Slight deviations may be fine.

Massive deviations that change the entire story would not be fine.

[The Cysko Kid]

Well the thing us the show will quickly outpace Martin's books. Like it or not the show is going to spoil the ending. With dany on the throne.

The show has slowed down. The last two seasons essentially covered book 3. ...plus some of what was in the later books. Books 4 and 5 for the most part have not been covered yet, and a new 6th book is supposed to be forthcoming at some point in the first part of 2016.

I don't know to what extent this new series will go into the 4th book. Although I guess if they are going to completely ignore the Iron Islands storyline the show will certainly go faster.
